Mini Analysis 2 Blog Analysis – Whistleblower Lawyer Blog

For the Mini Analysis 2 Blog Analysis, I studied a blog post by Whistleblower Lawyer Blog that detailed a whistleblowing case related to alleged financial falsifications in the Mormon church. I found the case fascinating. The blog post linked to a Wall Street Journal article and a 60 Minutes CBS news report. I was able to watch the 60 Minutes segment on Paramount+. It was very interesting to get to see the manager who blew the whistle on the case and to hear him tell the story. It is interesting to see how David Nielsen had ethical dilemmas in many facets of the case. He was open and honest and explained the ramifications of stepping forward and exposing the Church. He was conflicted between his personal relationship with the church and seeing the wrong that the church’s financial firm was doing. A bishop from the church was also interviewed in the 60 Minutes segment. Hearing his side of the story adds another layer to the case. The interviewer remained extremely neutral and provided information from both sides of the story while trying to clarify details that the Bishop was unclear about. Nielsen also explained to 60 Minutes that he was shunned and shamed for coming forward. This was very similar to the other blog post I read for the mini analysis where another whistleblower shared similar feelings after coming forward. It is very interesting to see that this is a common occurrence when people come forward. Overall I found this blog post to be a launching point that inspired me to find out more while considering ethical frameworks continuously.
